You can base your exim rpm on my own (www.rpmhelp.net), which I think was done for 8.0 or 8.1 (forget which). It hasn't been updated in a while. I think it will resolve this problem. Just taking a peek at my rpm (for version 3.33... yes, I haven't touched it in a while), I forced exim to use the uid/gid for the user/group "mail", so nothing special needs to be done. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6.4mdk uptime: 3 days 7 hours 42 minutes.
